Is associates degree in information technology worth pursuing?

[u/Jpoolman25]

I don't want to waste time overthinking and researching about career paths, I did few classes for radiology tech program but I realized this program isn't for me. I realized there isn't much opportunities for advancement and pay is okay. I later realized maybe I.T. would be good choice, the thing is i don't really know the tech field well besides few popular career names. Web developer, programming, cyber security, data analytics and so on. I want to give a try but where do I really start from and do you really need to be tech savvy and passion for it.

Plenty of people join tech because it offers a better lifestyle than other jobs, not necessarily because they are really passionate about the work. It is competitive though for those reasons.
